Unionist: In case it has escaped you, your claims that "Jews are viewed as foreigners, etc etc" smack of a hoary old siege mentality that simply has no place in Canada. Nobody I know, and nobody I've seen in the media, says anything like that about Jewish people.

Have you never heard anyone describe Israel as the Jewish homeland?

Have you never seen anyone suggest that some politicians side with Israel in order to secure Jewish votes or support?

I'm suggesting that those views are antisemitic, and that they call into question Jews' full membership within Canadian civil society. You may disagree with my interpretation. But you'll have to do better than that to convince me that Canada is a society which has overcome antisemitism (or racism or misogyny or homophobia or supremacy toward Aboriginal peoples etc.).

*I* certainly don't believe that sort of thing about Jewish people.

Who exactly accused you of that? No need to plead not guilty.

People used to say exactly the same sort of crap about Catholics - that they took orders from the Vatican, and that they represented an unsafe fifth column of sinister intent within society.

And Japanese and Ukrainians and Germans and Muslims and Sikhs...
